Examples of State Pledge in a sentence
The State Pledge is clearly an inducement offered by the State to investors to purchase the Bonds.
And “[t]he tenor” of the State Pledge, as in Brand, indicates that those words were “not used inadvertently or in other than [their] usual legal meaning.” Also consistent with the language at issue in U.S. Trust, the State Pledge names the beneficiaries of the State’s pledge and agreement.
Moreover, it is important to note that the State also authorizes an issuer of transition bonds to include the State Pledge in contracts with the holders of transition bonds (such as the Bonds).
As such, we believe that the State Pledge is akin to the “financial contract” involved in U.S. Trust, and therefore would not be viewed as an impermissible surrender of an essential attribute of state sovereignty.
The State Pledge does not purport to contract away, or constitute a waiver of, the State's power of eminent domain or otherwise restrict the State's ability to legislate for the public welfare or to exercise its police powers.
